Composite resins are the primary restoratives for minimally invasive esthetic procedures. However, the range of clinical applications can be exponentially maximized by understanding their mechanical and color properties as well as up-to-date adhesive technology, in addition to mastering dental artistry. In this webinar, Dr. Fahl will present the rationale for the proper use of composite resins in clinical scenarios of varying challenging magnitude, for the treatment of traumatized teeth, dischromic teeth, and non-carious cervical lesions. He will introduce and discuss from fundamental to advanced clinical challenges including, shade and composite selection, layering techniques, and artistic finishing and polishing techniques.
